Lets take a poll ! important

I would like to poll everyone on this:

As a person who answers questions and tries to help people on Boonex and Expertzzz, I come to find it VERY difficult to help as most people do not put enough detail or information into there questions.

My question to all is:

Wouldnt it be helpful and nice for everyone to put what version of Dolphin, Hardware, and possibly other versions (php, mysql) etc in there profile or even on the post ??

Given the way boonex is setup at the moment the only way to respond to this as a poll would to be VOTE either By THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN

I agree with cyberxing!

more detail the better. quicker responts from support people.

OS?
dolphine version?
php/mysql version?
did the initial install sucessful?
last file/db modified?
what mod you were trying to install?
what steps taken to fix the problem?

But at the sametime the answers should be detaild keeping in mine that not everybody is aprogrammer or database manager.

Sounds good.

Maybe Boonex could take it on board ande create a simple php file, which a user would go to that page and it would just put all the info on the page, so a simple copy/paste.

How does one login to user and or admin area of RAY after the install?
Everything I tried didn't work. I installed it and it said it completed ok. But all attempts to login went nowhere.
Thanks

I think as someone who is helping out of the kindness of your heart, it would be perfectly fine to require all questions to start with that info. That is just being polite and respectful of your time.

What you are asking for (and we should all comply by all means) is a kind of a bug tracking procedure form... or something so excuse my English.
The simplest thing is to all decide which details are extremely needed on these matters (such as php version, etc etc.
The only problem i can see here is this.Some of us (well just me that i know for sure but i think others too) usually don't let the Dolphin simply the way it is and start tweaking things (if only Dolphin didn't have so many hardcoded stuff).
This makes me unsure if the Dolphin Script Version would atr all help on specificated troubleshooting!
But hey...your idea is the best in a long time...hope we all take it under serious consideration!

Excellent suggestion! I agree with Moonworks. Either a simple "fill-in-the-blanks" form or php file that should be submitted with all requests for help. I know its damn hard trying to second guess a lot of this stuff, especially when 3rd party mods have already been put into a dolphin installation. People should keep a running track of what they have already installed and the helper's job would be a lot easier.

I agree,
When requesting help the more details you can provide about your situation/issue the better and less time is involved in handling the issue. By both the Tech person and you the end user.

Way to go (WTG) CyberXing
